About This Access Site
Uniontown Dike is a double-lane boat ramp located on the Ohio River near Morganfield in Union County, Kentucky, positioned between mile markers 842-843, just upstream of the John T. Myers Lock and Dam. The site offers convenient access to this section of the Ohio River and includes approximately 50 parking spots, a picnic shelter, and a courtesy dock. To reach the ramp, take KY 130 north of Morganfield, then turn left on KY 360, right on KY 871, and right on Dike Road (Highway 1671).

**Important Note:** This is a privately owned ramp that permits public use, though access policies and any associated fees are subject to change. Paddlers and boaters should verify current conditions and any fee requirements before visiting. The site provides good access to the tailwater below John T.
